Thank you

As with most maven projects, check the pom.xml for a <licenses> element.

https://github.com/jetty-project/jetty-alpn/blob/master/pom.xml#L35-L44

This project, the jetty-alpn project, is ...

Thank you for your quick answer. I don't understand clearly what "GPL v2 with ClassPath Exception" means.

Thank you in advance

Follow the URL, it has the text for that license.

Thank you. I read it but it is not my question.

I want to know under which license your project is licensed ? Apache or GPL v2 with ClassPath Exception? Or is it available under the 2 licenses ?

Sorry if my question is stupid. Regards

Maybe this applies (found at http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/9.4.x/alpn-chapter.html#alpn-license-details):

The ALPN implementation relies on modification of a few OpenJDK classes and on a few new classes that need to live in the sun.security.ssl package. These classes are released under the same GPLv2+exception license of OpenJDK. The ALPN class and its nested classes are released under same license as the classes of the Jetty project.

That is correct.
